Concept MegaHub Hannover Lehrte
MegaHub Lehrte is the most modern transshipment facility in Europe. This facility is known for its sustainability, fast handling, and modern equipment. The terminal is located in the heart of the Lehrte railway junction. It has direct connections to Hamburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Hildesheim, and Hannover. As a fast transshipment hub, MegaHub Lehrte specializes primarily in the transport of loading units between trains. The terminal was put into operation in 2021.
In December 2021, the Lovosice - Rotterdam Europort line was integrated into the MegaHub Lehrte concept itself. The operation of trains on the line to Lehrte was taken over by the railway freight company ČD Cargo. ČD Cargo's multi-system locomotives carry trains as far as Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The main benefit is a significant increase in operational quality and, above all, reliability.
